Missing from the list: United States of America v. Carollo, Goldberg and Grimm. Thank you, Matt Taibbi. And for the rest of the MSM that wasn't bright or intrepid enough to try and even understand the case (much less report on it) and its broader implications on how Wall Street has been screwing America, fark you. |

Benghazi..... |

Is Florida being incredibly incompetent at running their states voting really news anymore? Up next on vastly under reported stories of 2012, the sky is blue! |

Fast and Furious is no big deal? Really? Take the us v. them politics out of it (my party right or wrong) and ask yourself if arming the cartels is a good idea. Both Bush AND Obama were stupid about this plan. |

A highlight from the article. According to an analysis by Roll Call of Congressional financial disclosure forms, the net worth of the 535 members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives rose to $2.04 billion in 2012, up from $1.65 billion in 2008 - an increase that averages out to nearly three quarters of a million dollars per congress member. All this while the net worth of the average American household declined by more than 20 percent, according to data released in March by the Federal Reserve. |

Drone strikes. Hundreds of people including children killed by robots, and nobody knows. |

Snarcoleptic_Hoosier: Eddie Adams from Torrance: BENNNNNNGHAZZZZIII!11!! Solyndra. Fast and Furious. Ambassador Rice. /Birf Certificate An actual poll: "Do you think that Barack Obama legitimately won the Presidential election this year [2012], or do you think that ACORN stole it for him?" 49% of Republicans say ACORN stole it. |
||
| Eddie Adams from Torrance I read on the internets that Barack HUSSEIN Obama is black. Why isn't the drive by gotcha lamestream MSM media reporting this? |

Both Bush AND Obama were stupid about this plan. There was nothing wrong with it in principle. We let stuff go through all the time, in order to figure out where it's ending up. This is a tactic that law enforcement has been using forever. With weapons, though, there will always be some blowback. The only reason F&F got any attention was: 1.) A few Americans were killed. 2.) The ridiculous hollywood-inspired name. |

Both Bush AND Obama were stupid about this plan. Operation Wide Receiver used a few hundred firearms with GPS tracking capabilities and was done with the cooperation of the mexican military, police and ATF. Fast and Furious involved a few thousand firearms and Mexico was left completely in the dark. It was done to bolster the false talking point that 90% of guns used in Mexican crime were legally purchased in the US There is no equivalency. |

I'm glad they included the Puerto Rico statehood vote. It seemed like that's more nationally significant than the media has represented it. |

I have heard most of these stories reported in the news, the one exception being the water shortage in Yemen. The writers at time need to poke their noses out of their office door once in a while. Better yet, maybe they should report on the "under-reported" stories. |

So in history books this year will be known as either the year when half of all things involved Twitter or the last year when some things didn't involve Twitter. |

You fark sheep and you have no evidence to the contrary. You can't disprove a negative. Because you heard your farking insane conspiracy theory on a radio doesn't make it any less insane. Trim the sides of your tin foil hat they are sticking out of Rush Limbaugh's ass. |

I'll give them credit, 2 (Yemen & Caribbean) out of the 10 were actually under reported stories. |

#2 - let's be accurate, Super Storm Sandy devastates Cuba and Haiti. Two countries who don't want our help. Fark 'em. That's why they weren't news. |

Snotnose I don't unnerstand. Bookmark that javascript snippet? If so, how? If not, bookmark what? I run Chrome if it matters. A bookmark is mainly an URL (well, and a description and whatnot) that your browser saves for you. Those URLs can be, for example: * weblinks (http://foo.com/bar) * links to local files (file:///foo/bar.html) * javascript functions (javascript:doSomeStuffWithTheCurrentP age() ) Those Javascript-bookmarks are also called "bookmarklet"s and they'll work on/with the site you're looking at when you click on them. They're a poor man's browser extension (or a Greasemonkey script if that means anything to you) and most useful if you put them somewhere where you can access them quickly. For example, my browser's bookmarks toolbar contains some bookmarklets I use almost daily and a folder for those I use less often. That deslide one just takes the URL of the site you're currently looking at in your browser (tab) and opens a new window with that URL submitted to the deslider. To create a bookmarklet, you just create a new bookmark and copy&paste the Javascript into the "Location" (or URL or whatever it's called in your browser) text field of the new/edit bookmark dialog. In this case you could also right-click the "bookmarklet"-URL I highlighted in the deslider screenshot above; your browser should offer you something like "bookmark this link" when you do so. There's another example of a bookmarklet with screenshots at the bottom of my Fark profile under "Enable images in threads with images disabled". |

Accept foreign investment. They are influenced by Cuba to resist it. |

Hell of a grudge you've got there, given the guy died over 40 years ago. Many worse people have come and gone since then |
